Be it known that I, J OHN Soo'r'r ALLEN, a

citizen 'of the United States of America, re-.

siding at Los Angeles, in the county of Los a certain new and useful Insulating-Support r Electrical Conductors, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and

, exact description of the'invention, such as 1t appertains tomake and use the same. This inventlonrelaftes to Insulating. supl will enable'others skilled in the art to which ports for electricalcOnductors' and has among other objects to provide such a support comwherein is'afiixed a threadedmetallic bush? ,ing 5', into which is-secui'ed a threaded me- 40 pactly constructed, which shall be strong and eflicient in service,-the parts of which may be readily separated from each other to- ,permit replacement in any part and to facilitate handling -or shipment, and which may lie-quickly. assembled at the place where the support is to be used. v

A further object ofthe invention is to-provide cheap, convenient and substantial means for uniting the various parts-comprising the support. p I

With these and other'objects'inview the support consists of the a structure described in this specification and illustrated .in the accompanying sheet of drawings, which shows a vertical section through the support. Reference numeral 1" designates the end of l an arm which may be supported .in any suitable manner, and have a threaded eye 2, into which may be screwed a metallic bushing 3, to which '-may be aflixed by' cen1enting or otherwise, an insulating member or bell l.

The-under". side' of bell 4 has a recess,

tallicbushing 6, attached tothe upper end of a second insulating member 7 ,to the inside of which is attached a threaded metallic bushing. 8,- into which is secured a wire support: 9, the lower end of which carries-a hook 10, or'other suitable means for supporting a wire-or electrical conductor 11.v

jShould either insulating" member 4 be broken, the insulating support canbereadily taken apart and a .newipiece be substituted 150 I for thebroken'one.

It will .benoted that with the construction shown and above described the"insulating member 7 when fitted in the recess on the underside of bell 4, has the. top thereef coinl (It lent with the upper Wall of the recess,

{ whereby. gtainedL I claim:

1. In an insulating support,- a member 4: composed of non-conducting.material, a metallic bushing 3 affixed to thetop thereof,

compactness and strength are at- 1 means whereby a support 1 may be atposed of non-conducting material, of ametallic part arranged in a recess atthe under,-

po'sed ofnon-conducting material, said seccident with the upper. wall of said recess in the first member,a second metallic partat the upper portion of said .second member, said metallic parts constructed, and arranged 'to hold. said members detachably together, a 'metallic support, and metallic means secured to one of said members and coacting with .said support to secure such member detachably thereto. e v

metaiiio part at the upper portion of said second member, said metallic parts consti'ncted e115. arranged to hold said members detachaioly together, a metallic support, and

metallic means secured to one of said mom-s tallic support, and meta '0 means afiixed to said member'zind oozicting with said support to secure said member detachabl'y thereto.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to the specification in the presenceof' two subscribing witnesses. I V
